Will do as soon as we get them in. it has been all M3 fitment so far, for us.

the weight of the SuperLap would be hard to beat but I wouldn't be surprised.

just happy to update everyone and provide information in the best possible way that we can.

One thing though, is that we feel that this has had some adverse effect of people thinking that lighter is ALWAYS better. Which is not quite true.
Light and Strong is good. wheels can always be made lighter but they aren't always strong or built to sustain the load.

Good example is BBS. They can make wheels lighter but they will never do it by sacrificing strength and ability to safely hold the weight of the car not just static but dynamic load. This is why their wheels are a little heavier than others.

Of course they have made the wheels that are featherlight and strong like the BBS FI, but they do cost quite a bit because these aren't just generic forgings that they CNC out. These are proprietary forgings that they worked on that really culminates all their strengths as the premier wheel builder.

The 18" RZ DF has not been imported to the US for BMW yet. No one has pulleed the trigger. but as soon as we have them, you know we will put somethign up.

They are a little bit heavier than most but those are pretty standard weights for oem wheels. you gotta remember that the OEM wheels are pretty much "over engineered" and have load ratings and safety buffers that are much higher than most aftermarket wheels.

We put them on the M3 and i know that this is a great lookign wheel. I just want a 3 series guy to put it on!
